A few days later, Zhao Yan and their filial piety expired, according to the rules of the imperial court, Zhao Hao rewarded his three younger brothers, among which Zhao Haojin was named King Chang, Zhao Hao Jin was named King Jia, as for Zhao Yan is very special, he was named the King of Yue, and the fief is in the hometown of Nanyue, and what is even more incomprehensible is that there is another item after the appointment of Zhao Yan, that is, he was ordered to go to the official of the fief, in charge of the Great Song Dynasty's overseas affairs!

In addition to the appointment of Zhao Yan and their three brothers, the three princesses were also promoted, among which Princess Dening was named the eldest princess of Chen, Princess Baoan was named the eldest princess of Shu, and Princess Shoukang was named the eldest princess of Weiguo.

Some people said that Zhao Yan invited himself out of Beijing, and like those officials who opposed the change before, they couldn't bear to see the bad consequences of the change to the people, but they couldn't persuade Zhao Yan to stop the change, so he went to the south in a fit of anger; Some people also say that Zhao Yan was persuaded by Zhao Yan many times, which angered the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, so Zhao Yan nominally let him manage the sea trade, but in fact, he belittled Zhao Yan and left Beijing. In addition, there are some different opinions, and for a while, the whole capital was discussing Zhao Yan's departure from Beijing.

As the center of public opinion on this matter, Zhao Yan naturally can't be alone, in fact, after the news of his departure from Beijing spread, his house has been in an endless stream, all of them are visiting guests, most of them are officials, and they are all officials of the old party, these people also know that Zhao Yan does not agree with the change, and some time ago he often entered the palace to persuade Zhao Yan. Many people even regard Zhao Yan as a hope to stop the change, but now even Zhao Yan is going to go out of Beijing, which makes many people disappointed at the same time, they also want to know more about the truth of some things, so these people ran to Zhao Yan in groups.

For these people who came to visit, Zhao Yan was nowhere to be seen. It's not that he's putting up a show, but with his current status, it's really not appropriate to be too close to the courtiers, not to mention that there are still so many officials running to his house, which is more likely to arouse the suspicion of others, plus these people come to see him just to find out the news, and they don't have any real help for him, so it's better not to see.

Of course, Zhao Yan is not missing everyone, in fact, he took advantage of the time before leaving. Often going back and forth between the military academy and the Gewu Academy, these two places are the places where Zhao Yan is most at ease, he is worried that the law changers will reach their tentacles here, so he made some arrangements for these two academies before leaving.

Among them, Gewu Academy is better, after all, this is a private academy, and it has little to do with the imperial court, even if Zhao Yan leaves, he is still the dean of the academy. Any major matter in the academy must also be approved by him, so he found Shen Kuo before leaving. told him to guard the academy no matter what, in the past few years, he would rather let the academy stop developing than make too many moves, as soon as qiē can maintain the current state quo, Shen Kuo also promised again and again that he would never let others interfere in the academy.

Compared to Gewu Academy. Zhao Yan is most worried about the military academy, because the military academy has been a military institution belonging to the imperial court since its establishment, and now the old general Yang Wenguang manages the military academy on his behalf, but the nominal principal of the military academy is the Great Song Emperor Zhao Ji, so Wang Anshi's new party wants to meddle in the management of the military academy. All you need is Zhao Ji's nod.

Of course, because of the particularity and importance of the military school, Zhao Ji has never dared to hand over the military school to others for management, let alone let people interfere in the operation of the military school, for example, when the Baojia Law was promulgated before, someone in the new party proposed to let some military academy students graduate early, and then assigned to various places as instructors, but this construction was directly rejected by Zhao Yan, and until now the military school has been supervised by Yang Wenguang, and Zhao Yan is still the superintendent of the military school, which also reassures Zhao Yan a lot.

Compared with the military academy and the Gewu Academy, Zhao Yan served as a consultant for the weapons supervisor but has been taken over by the new party, some time ago Su Song because of the conflict with the new party, as a result, he invited himself out of Beijing in a fit of anger, and went to Xiangzhou to be the governor, Su Shi felt that it was difficult to support alone, plus he did not agree with the concept of the new party, so he simply asked Zhao Ji to go out of Beijing, Zhao Yan also took the opportunity to ask Zhao Yan to come over, Zhao Yan was also very generous to this, after all, he even gave Xu Yuan and Cao Song to Zhao Yan, and he was not bad for a Su Shi.

In fact, the reason why Zhao Yan asked Su Shi to come over was not only to fancy Su Shi's talent, but also to protect Su Shi, speaking of which, although Su Shi's official position is not high, he is famous and famous, and he also has great prestige in Shilin, so the people in the new party have long been eyeing him. Of course, if Su Shi follows Zhao Yan now, he will naturally not have the fate above.

Although the ordnance prison was taken over by the new party, Zhao Yan was still the adviser of the ordnance superintendent, so he also went to the ordnance superintendent before leaving, and found that the entire ordnance superintendent had not undergone any major changes, and it was estimated that the new party also knew the importance of the ordnance superintendent, so he did not dare to move without permission, but the craftsmen in the ordnance superintendent were much busier than before, because the new party increased the amount of weapons provided by the ordnance superintendent, which also led the craftsmen to work overtime, which made the craftsmen miserable. Many craftsmen who knew him took the opportunity to complain to him, but unfortunately Zhao Yan was also powerless about it.

After a period of preparation, it was about to be the day when Zhao Yan and them left the capital, but on this morning, Zhao Yan had breakfast with his family, but suddenly received the news that Hu Yanping and his wife came to visit, which made Zhao Yan also stunned, and then went to greet him with Cao Ying, and then Cao Ying entertained Hu Yanping's wife in the inner house, and Zhao Yan talked with Hu Yanping in the front hall.

Hu Yanping is a straight man, as soon as he saw Zhao Yan, he immediately said straight to the point: "Third brother, I heard that you are leaving the capital, it just so happens that I also graduated from the military academy, I have already decided, I will follow you to the south to break through, it is better than doing things under Brother Qing'er and them!" ”

"You...... You're going to go south with me too? Zhao Yan couldn't help but be taken aback when he heard Hu Yanping's words, after Hu Yanping entered the military academy, although his foundation was poor, but he worked hard enough, plus after his brain disease was cured, it seems that even his IQ has improved, anyway, it is definitely far beyond the average IQ of Hu Yan's family, and the hard work plus a good brain melon makes Hu Yanping quickly emerge in the military academy, with his graduation results, he can definitely get a good position in the Western Army or the Hebei Army, plus the seniors who graduated from the military academy before to take care of him, It can be said that Hu Yanping's future is immeasurable, but now if he follows him to the south, there is no fighting army for him to command.

"The three of us are the three famous gentlemen in the capital at the beginning, and we have always advanced and retreated together, and now you and Brother Jiu'er are going to the south, you can't leave one behind, right?" Hu Yanping laughed and said, he had been busy with graduation in the military academy some time ago, and he only returned home in the past two days, but he didn't expect Zhao Yan to go to the south, after thinking about it, he discussed it with his wife, so he decided to follow Zhao Yan to the south, so that he could take care of it.

Hearing Hu Yanping say this, Zhao Yan was moved in his heart, but then he shook his head again and said: "Brother Huyan doesn't have to be like this, I went to the south mainly to manage maritime trade, and the only one who can be mobilized in my hands is the sailor, but Brother Huyan, you are learning the method of land warfare, and you are not proficient in the sailor, and it is difficult to use it there, so it is better to obey the arrangement of the imperial court and go to the Western Army or the Hebei Army, maybe there will be a chance to recover the land of Yanyun in the future and complete the ancestral training of your Huyan family." ”

From the beginning of Hu Yanzan's generation, Hu Yan's family has taken the recovery of Yanyun as the ancestral training, Hu Yanping also dreamed of one day being able to fulfill the last wish of his ancestors since he was a child, the reason why he entered the military academy was actually because of this reason, but now if he follows him to the south, even if the Great Song Dynasty uses troops against Liao in the future, he can only watch it, Zhao Yan, as Hu Yanping's friend, naturally can't let him miss this opportunity, otherwise he will definitely regret it for life.

However, when Hu Yanping heard Zhao Yan's persuasion, he suddenly laughed and said: "Third brother, although I have only been out of the military academy for a long time, I also know that the Great Song Dynasty is now in a mess by those new parties, in this case, where does the imperial court still have the energy to use troops against the Liao State, and even if the imperial court really uses troops against the Liao State, I am not the only one in the army, Brother Qing'er, they are all in the army, and when the time comes, they will fulfill the last wish of the ancestors, not one of them!" ”

Zhao Yan wanted to say something more when he heard this, but Hu Yanping waved his hand and said: "The matter is so decided, I will go to General Yang tomorrow and ask his old man to help me arrange for me to be in the Southern Army, as for the third brother, you said that the main water division in the south is the main division, but I think that no matter when, it is still up to us to decide a war!" ”

Seeing that Hu Yanping's attitude was so resolute, Zhao Yan couldn't refuse anymore, and finally had to nod helplessly in agreement, and then he sent someone to invite Cao Song and Xu Yuan, but Cao Song heard that Hu Yanping was also going, and immediately beat his chest and praised him for being righteous enough, and Zhao Yan held a banquet in the evening, and the four of them were all drunk.
